Unseen Upside: Investments Beyond Their Returns

S5:E2 Drug Affordability: The High Cost of Healing


Listen Later

Prescription drug prices in the United States are 2.78 times higher than in other developed countries, but why?

We untangle the barriers surrounding drug affordability and find out why accessing life-saving medications is costly to so many. Joined by experts, advocates, and one Cystic Fibrosis patient relying on expensive medication to live, we examine the complex factors contributing to the high costs of drugs, from research and development to pricing strategies and supply chain dynamics. We also investigate potential solutions to improve access and affordability without compromising on drug innovation.

Guests include:

  • Peter Kolchinsky, Founder and Managing Partner at RA Capital
  • Gunnar Esiason, Head of Patient Engagement at RAVen (RA Ventures)
  • Dean Dimizas, Partner in the Private Client Practice at Cambridge Associates
